Assembled a new pc on the monday, everything booted, installed windows, drivers etc. with no problems. Late at night after playing dota 2 for around 2 hours the pc shut down and restarted, I then loaded dota 2 again and it restarted yet again, this was repeated once more before the problem stopped. I had been checking cpu and gpu temps and the temp under load of them never got any higher than around 50C for the CPU and 60-70C for the GPU.
I left the computer than running overnight to download some stuff and when I woke in the morning the display wasn't showing, the gpu fans were on full and making a hell of a noise, and the case fans and cpu fans were not on either, tried rebooting using the power button on the case front but this wouldn't work, neither was the hdd light showing any activity. Turned it off at the back of the case and turned back on and the same happened, gpu fans on full and nothing else (apart from the hdd seemed to be on and the optical drive had power.) Got home from work later on the day and took the gpu out, ram, wireless card and unplugged the case fans. I also checked all the connections to the motherboard etc. I turned it on again and the cpu fan worked and it seemed to boot properly, re-assembled the parts I took out bit by bit and it then worked fine again.
This problem happened again last night after leaving it on and I repeated the process around an hour ago it seems to all be working fine again. I am pretty perplexed as to what is happening. One note is the pci-e port for the wireless card covers one of the gpus fans and it every close to it, less than a cm gap. I have it removed currently. But didn't when the problems occured.
Specs are:
AMD FX-6300 3.5gz Black edition
ASUS m5a97 r 2.0
G-Skill 8GBXL DDR3 1600mhz 2x4gb
Gigabyte 7950 3gb
Western Digital 1tb Caviar Blue HD
Corsair Builder Series CXM 600w Modular PSU
Liteon DVDRW drive
Corsair 200R Case
TP-Link 300Mbnps Wirless N PCI-E apapter
Any help would be much appreciated
